Top LEGO Car Sets of 2025 Revealed

For any adult newcomer to the world of LEGO, starting with one of their car replicas is a fantastic choice. The latest LEGO car sets are a perfect blend of various building techniques, offering a comprehensive introduction to LEGO's innovative world. These models incorporate a bit of everything: the structural integrity of LEGO Technic for the car's frame, an intricate network of rods, studs, and gears for the steering system, and classic LEGO bricks for the body and finish. This mix provides a crash course in LEGO's fundamental building techniques, which have become mainstream and widely popular over the past decade.

One of the biggest advantages of building LEGO vehicles is the end result: a functional model. These sets are not only durable but also packed with practical features such as steering, gear shifts, suspension, retractable headlights, and moving peripheral elements. These features make your LEGO car an engaging and interactive build. When you're ready to explore beyond LEGO, many alternative building sets also boast similar working features.

Whether you're a fan of classic cars or iconic vehicles from Hollywood blockbusters, like the 1966 Adam West-led Batmobile, IGN has compiled a list of the best LEGO car sets available in 2025.

How Many LEGO Car Sets Are There?

As of April 2025, the LEGO Store lists 100 car-themed sets. While there are kid-friendly options, the best sets are designed for adults and can be complex and expensive. LEGO could benefit from introducing more mid-priced models in the $50-150 range to cater to children and intermediate builders, offering them a rich building experience at a more accessible price. Sets like the retired Aston Martin are missed, highlighting the need for more affordable options that maintain the essence of LEGO's cross-generational appeal.

What's the Most Expensive LEGO Car Set?

The most expensive LEGO car sets can reach up to $449.99, with three sets hitting this price point: the Ferrari Daytona SP3, the McLaren P1, and the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. All are LEGO Technic sets, featuring intricate mechanisms like working gearboxes and moving pistons. The high cost is driven by the attention to detail and exclusive branding, with LEGO collaborating directly with these luxury car manufacturers to ensure authenticity. These sets are the epitome of LEGO's technical complexity and partnership with prestigious brands, making them the priciest LEGO car sets available.
